They are utterly odorless btw. My fav deodorant.

tried this at Sephora, really liked it.

>>11669636
If anyone thinks Black Orchid is too femme, they should give Man in Black a try. Same boozy, waxy spicy blend but with less overt citrus and more woods. I prefer it vs. Spicebomb too.

The All Blacks edition has a blast of pepper in the opening but it doesn't last long before it turns to the same scent.

Excellent for fall nights and dates.

>>11669580

Does anyone else get a lot of frankincense from this? I feel like I'm sitting in the church garden after my grandpa's funeral. I've never had a fragrance give me a flashback before.

So this is the power of Tom Ford ...

Is this going to cost more if go to the Issey Miyake store in Tribeca rather than Nordstrom's or Barney's? I can't seem to find it at Sephora. Also would it be much cheaper if I go to a mall in Flushing or just head over to Jersey?

>>11669833
Maybe because some old friend of your gramps wore Guerlain Vetiver or something like that...

Hello, /fa/. I'm looking for a perfume to use for going to class. I'm male, 18 years old and don't really like very sweet, floraly or fruity scents. I'm looking for something that can be used in summer-spring but if used in autumn or winter doesn't strike as inadequate. I have no limit on the price, but i don't want a very well-known and spread fragrance like the one from JPG or Rochas. Any recommendations? I'm sorry for the long list of requirements, so thanks anyway!

>>11669577
since he's such a popular figure re:perfume among normies/plebs and polarizing here...

http://www.fragrantica.com/news/Sex-and-the-Scent-An-Interview-with-Jeremy-Fragrance-8400.html

Does anyone have a recommendation for a non-offensive, clean, modern scent for work?

At the moment I have been wearing Issey Miyake L'eau D'Issey, but I feel it's getting played out, plus I just need to switch my style up. Has anyone tried Jo Malone's Earl grey and Cucumber? I am worried that this may be a tad too feminine, but was wondering if it is unisex enough to get away with.

Also I need something to complement Issey Miyake L'eau D'Issey during the Fall/Winter seasons, I need something that is still citrus-y/fresh but more suited to colder weather? Thanks for any suggestions

>>11669844
I'm pretty sure it will cost pretty much the same everywhere... it is a well-known and mass produced scent so I assume it will just be sold at retail price regardless of store, though some stores may have it on discount but I wouldnt bet on it.

Paul Smith Portrait or Dior Farenheit

Can choose to get either one for free from work but can't decide

>>11669844
Buy it online or you're getting ripped off. Especially at nordstrom or Barney's.

What are some good masculine/unisex scents that are Heroin Chic?

i feel like a pleb buying joop homme (redish pink bottle) i bought it 3 years ago one time and i just love the scent

>>11671168
Mont Blanc - Individuel and Creed - Original Santal are both apparently very similar if you want to wear something that sounds less plebby when you tell people what you're wearing. Or just lie and say those if you're bothered I guess

>>11670867

It ain't hard my dude

>>11671655
artisan is pretty universally praised. i really can't see the appeal, seems to me like it's literally the most generic 'cologne' smell in existence, but i'm definitely in the minority.

>>11671713
varvatos scents in general seem like run-of-the-mill muck. dark rebel seems interesting, at least it has a cool bottle.

>>11671724
you're very right actually, dark rebel is very interesting from a designer house.

it's funny you say that, because i was the guy who just recommended a city on fire in this thread and dark rebel reminds me a LOT of it. very daring smoky scent.

>I don't know what I like but I think always liked jasmine irl

>>11672055
Go out and sample some in stores. Spray it on the tester strip and let it dry down a bit. If you like the smell, test it on your skin.
Repeat until you find your favourite frag

Some recommendations I have:

Burberry London
CK Euphoria or Euphoria Intense (intense is one of my personal favorites for winter)
Spicebomb

If you're looking at cheap and darkly sweet frags go for the new axe/lynx line. As much as I hate to admit it, they're right up a young man's alley in terms of price and smell

Tall order, friend.

>>11672131
Many generic old man scents tend to have leather. And leather is seldom done properly.

>>11672131
can be headache inducing note, up there with heavy floral bombs grandmas wear

that said, some of the more popular "normie" scents have a leather component like 1 Million, Dior Homme and Fahrenheit, TFPB Tuscan Leather, Spicebomb, Bvlgari Black, Burberry London, and Spicebomb

>>11672131

>>11669580
This is bait, but on a serious note: have you guys seen the youtubers who do reviews or people who are obsessively into fragrance? They look like undercover redpillers who obsess over wearing frags to attract girls, or disgusting normies who don't care about any other life virtues but frags, or even neckbeards who somehow got into fragrance before basic self-care and hygiene. I think I abhor the fragrance community.

>>11672176

>>11673276
Yes they're a sad lot. I enjoy watching fragrance bros when Jer's there, but even they're kinda cringey. dracdoc, mymickers, fragboy stewie etc make me want to fucking kill myself.

Don't mind those two, the rest are a bit cringe.

>>11673250
Tom Ford is popular af

>>11673419
JimQuantrell is my favourite desu - shame he stopped posting.
I enjoy Jeremy's vids despite the occasional plebbiness.
Fragrancebros are actually ok, they seem like nice dudes and they review well.
Maxforti seems like a nice enough dude. Reviews aren't the best but talks about some interesting stuff that nobody else does sometimes.

>>11673383
Fahrenheit's pretty famous but definitely not normie. Bvlgari black is not normie at all. Come on guys get it together

>>11673428
Tom Ford's popular among fragrance enthusiasts. Normie's don't spend £145 for 50ml of fragrance. Much less do they wear Tuscan Leather. There's nothing normie about it, it's not really all that accessible.

>>11673276
Steve from redolessence is pretty cringey to me. I don't see how he could marry an obvious closet lesbian femnazi.I guess you just take what you can get.

Daver, Dan and Cody are nice and are obviously having fun with something that they love.

Sy(sp) and the fragrance apprentice are too serious and appear over the top and exaggerated.

MrSmelly gets high marks for me. There's a guy who obviously loves frags but isn't afraid to poke fun at the hobby, nor is afraid of being laughed at. Ditto for Lex Ellis, wherever he is now. The hobby needs more people like them.

Jeremy doesn't even get a rating because he's the Ronald McDonald of the frag community.

>>11672543
The only normie scent in that list is 1M. I can't imagine any regular person walking up to a counter and asking for X fragrance by name from that list except for 1M. Only fragheads consider that list starter-tier.

>>11672581
If you just want a little something to freshen up, West Indian Lime

Thanks for the reccs

What got you guys started on your interest in fragrances? Was it one particular fragrance?

For me, it was a sample of Ednymion by Penhaligon's I got from my Gradparents' house. Before this, I'd worn Armani Code and quite liked it. I remember sitting down once about 3 hours after applying Endymion, smelling the spot I'd applied it and being blown away by the depth and complexity. Had no idea fragrances could be that good.

>>11670047
I don't dislike jeremy. I think he's a dude who actually does know his stuff, he just also knows who his audience is and thus isn't really gonna go hard on the more obscure or niche fragrances. He's gonna talk more of the mainstream fragrances or at least niche fragrances with mainstream appeal.

>>11671231
How can he get through so many bottles?

>>11673728
>What got you guys started on your interest in fragrances? Was it one particular fragrance?
honestly, it was La Meme de L'Homme

Back in the day I bought myself a bottle of Tokyo by Kenzo, and, man, it was the best fragnance I've ever smelled in my whole life.
However, it was way too weak to use. The smell became feint in several minutes, was barely noticeable after half an hour, and vanished completely in no time (it took me more to commute to my uni lol).

Is there anything similar to this one, but more long-lasting? I suck at fragnance descriptions, but I remember very powerful grapefruit smell (also ginger and green tea). I tried modern Kenzo ones, but most of them are cucumber lemonade with or without spices, so it's not what I'm looking for.

What does /fa/ think of my frag rack?
I want to get more fresh/aquatic frags, but im too excited for fall and winter and keep getting warm scents

>>11674350
Camera/lens? That picture's sharp as fuck breh

Currently wearing Dolce & Gabbana "Light Blue"

Any recommendations on something similar like this? Anyone wear this before, thoughts?
I just got it because it was a fair price and I simply needed a cologne since what I used to wear is hard to find now.

>>11674110
If I remember correctly it was something to do with it ever being discontinued or re formulated. It's complete fucking doomsday prepper, but it did get re formulated. I have the 2015 bottle and its complete water; lasts about 2 hours and you can't smell anything.

>>11674350
That's really interesting you have stuff like aramis and Tsar in this day. Most people in this general wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole. Personally aramis is a complete scrubber, I can stand it for its history and why it was popular but it smells so dated.

>>11674498
AdG Profumo 10/10 I wear it myself and love it.
Eau Sauvage ?/10 The original? Haven't smelt it.
Aqva Amara 5/10 I don't get the hype with this one, on me it smells so light and the orange is really soft, it's overly delicate and not at all like what our favourite reviewer >>11674532 said.

voyage tier, i did like it tho. chanel bleu is a bit bolder and not far off. personally i got a bottle of jardin sur le nil after my light blue was done and loved it to bits

>>11675670
What's voyage tier? I mean, yeah, it smells good honestly. Just looked it up, really good pricing. I was surprised to see the Eau de Toillete isn't even 75, and the Eau de Parfum is not even 100. Would you say Bleu is good enough to make one's signature fragrance?

>>11675823
very entry level but they get you mad compliments. yeah i actually was circling around bleu for a summer frag but then one of my friends got it and i'm just too hipster for that shit

Looking for a suggestion.

idk my natural body odor smells like basil so I do not even bother.

How can I start smelling like Green Apple?
I had the Green Apple Head & Shoulders shampoo and I liked how it smelled.

Is there something like YSL La Nuit but a little more distinctively masculine? I love the warm, spicy sweetness (but not too sweet) of La Nuit, but I find it a little feminine on my skin and I don't think it suits me.

>>11676029
Spicebomb
Bvlgari Man In Black
La Nuit De L'Homme

>>11676300
Try Jubilation Xxv by Amouage

or, if youre on a budget, look for 1 Million by Paco Rabanne

>>11676303
Looked up the Bvlgari, Macy's has 3.4 Oz Eau de PArfum, 2.5 Oz Shampoo, 2.5 Oz Aftershave, and a Bvlgari pouch for 92 USD.

Is oriental the subtle fragrance in that suggestions image? Musk seems subtle to me. Interested in using this stuff but I typically can't stand the smell of perfumes that I come across daily.

>>11676518
i don't quite get what you are asking exactly, but "subtle" is not a word i'd use to describe most orientals

What fragrance should I cop if I want something floral/dreamy/romantic, sort of feminine.
I'm a big /fit/izen but don't want to smell "masculine".

I'm new to this and feel strange about purchasing a fragrance with "toilet water" written on the box. Feel like I bought bottled bathroom mist.

Did I do it right?

I went in blind but recognized the Fahrenheit name from a older general.

>>11679325
Fahrenheit is a quality selection and definitely appropriate for Fall. You did just fine, but research more in the future and buy online to save real money.

>>11676330
I don't mean something else that is just spicy and sweet. I mean specifically smells like La Nuit but more masculine. F Black reminds me a little of La Nuit and is definitely masculine but after a while the drydown has this sickly baby-wipe vibe to it. Any other suggestions?

>>11680081
Endymion by Penhaligons. The Concentré version is yet more masculine, lovely thick leather note as well as the great lavendar/coffee/incense thing it has going on.
La Nuit is a shade of this to be honest

>>11680081

>>11679198

>>11681740
Ahem.

Is La Nuit really that good?

>>11681738
Endymion is pretty masculine imo, and though i haven't tried the concentre version, i can't imagine it being less so

and take online reviews/comments with a heavy pinch of salt; some people have such a narrow view of what makes a scent masculine that only heavy woodsy scents with notes like tobacco and whiskey qualify as such

really, the only way you can decide is to try it for yourself

should I blind buy this

>>11673276
no one mentioned me.. im safe lol

>>11682240
No. It's short lived and watered down. Like a CK impression of Aventus. The top notes are closer than many other clones, but it ultimately lacks any sort of staying power / projection.

>>11670959
really depends. It always depends on your age, personality, skin tone, skin chemistry, etc. I am 130 lbs at 5'11, under 25. I think Tom Ford Tobacco Oud suits me pretty well, YSL L'homme (just the classic daytime one) is pretty good too, not too masculine or saccharine.

>>11674169
Same here, it sounded like it would suit me so well. It definitely did.

>>11682240
Don't listen to >>11682356
According to reviews it's more on the longer lasting side. I own a bottle and the olfactory fatigue always gets me. After a while you can't smell it but that's because you're accustomed to it, which is probably the problem the other guy has. I'm not too crazy about the fragrance itself but other people love it. I've gotten the most compliments wearing IP2.

>>11677732
Thierry Mugler Pure Havanne. Works best in winter, too much heat outside can make it oppressive and overly strong. Slumberhouse Jeke is good too, easily the strongest juice I have, you can smell a single drop from like 5 yards away, so use sparingly. Serge Lutens Chergui is good too.

>>11678988
YSL L'homme works good if you are a cuteboy. Cool Water if you're more athletic and chaddish. Spicebomb if you live somewhere cold in the winter.

>>11682527
No. I have owned two bottles of Aventus and know very well what olfactory fatigue is. IP2 is just weak compared to what it's trying to be. Why would a person ever want to wear a half-powered version of another fragrance?

Praise for IP2 and similar clones just lowers the bar for discussion around here.

>>11682631
Why are you assuming he just wants a clone? The fragrance is great in of itself.

>>11682653
?The fragrance is great in of itself.
I dispute that point as well. "Great" is wildly overstating it. Decent for value? Sure.

>>11682653
>>11682660
Thanks for the answers.
I just want a decent frag for the cheap price, I
ve never smelled Aventus.
Do you have any other recs for the price (spring summer frag)?

>>11682764
Cheap S/S fragrances that I actually reach for :
~$25 - Guerlain Vetiver, Encre Noire Sport, Guerlain Homme L'Eau Boisee
~$35 - Mugler Cologne, Versace Signature, L'Eau d'Issey

Ebay / Fragrancenet pricing @100ml (including testers)

>>11682764
Insurrection Pure II is good enough. It never gives me a headache like other summer scents do.
You can also try Cool Water, or Lacoste.

So I bought Millesime Imperial after sampling it beforehand and my batch has too much salt.
I have seen someone in the past saying they mixed it with Bleu de Chanel in a decant or some shit and I have the edp but I was curious if there were any more suggested fragrances I should mix.
I have 70 bottles and alot of samples so shoot me some recommendations please.

Anyone tried Armani Mania?

>>11689157
Did you just buy a fresh bottle of MI? If so, give it a few days to ripen before you write off your batch. The juice will become less salty and develop into the proper fruity MI scent you sampled. It will help if you also decant about 5ml into a travel vial so that more air gets into your bottle of MI.

Tried Givenchy Gentlemen Only Intesne recently. I really liked it. Do you think it's worth the money?

>>11689622
Nothing offensive. I think its versatile and works for all occasions.

>>11685730
I've heard a there is a lot similarity between Versace's Pour Homme and Channel's Allure Homme sports. Is that true? If yes, which would be a better to choose and why?

>>11689157
I would not 'mix' fragrances, ever. If you're unhappy with your bottle either wait it out like >>11689648 says (i've never owned any creed, doesn't do it for me) or just sell it.

I blind-bought azzaro chrome and liked it mostly, but it was a bit chemically sweet imo. Tell me what to buy /fa/.

This happen to anyone else?

>>11690343
You wore fragrance so that you would smell nice. I don't get why people suddenly become self conscious about others being able to notice; that's the whole point.

What are the best places to find splits/decants that ship to Canada? Is scentsplit.com trustworthy and not a rip off?

>>11690388
Yeah, but I don't want to gas people or be smelled from the opposite end of a train car

>>11690343
>>11690388
>>11690491
I get this. I honestly just wear fragrance for myself, and i guess to an extent my girlfriend sometimes. Obviously it's a plus if other people like it, but I prefer if you can only smell it in a modest distance around me - i.e. if you get close to shake my hand or give me a hug.

>>11688552
>fragrance inspo
I don't know how it would work, but it's got to be more than just a pic of a bottle

maybe a pic of a bottle with a fit, or something like >>11688811 (but less ironic, natch)

>>11690343
It's summer. Perfumes really bloom in heat. That's why it isn't recommended to wear heavy scents when it's warm out

>>11690511
I guess I see where you're coming from. I mainly just meant to show something interesting that people had likely not encountered before to aid discovery.

>>11690527
That's good, too, actually. These threads have become almost constant Dior, Hermes, Chanel, YSL, Creed, discussion recently

ive got a dior homme parfum r8? its lasted me 2 years and still going wtf only 75 ml

>>11690548
I,ve got a 50mL bottle of La Nuit thats at least 4 years old that's not even half gone

bottles last a long time, even 50mL of something you can wear everyday year-round will last like 8-10 months probably

>>11690511
fragrance could also work with notes, like pic related

i was wearing Amouage Lyric Man while grinding coffee for my breakfast and the scent combo really struck me. anyone know a perfume with primarily coffee and rose in it?

>>11690746
*fragrance inspo could also work with...

>>11690746
I like this idea.

RE rose/coffee - Your best bets are houses like By Kilian, Amouage and Montale.

Intense Cafe by Montale
Cafe Rose by Tom Ford
Halfeti by Penhaligons (not a coffee note but nutmeg which can have a similar effect)

>>11689796
"Worth it" is an entirely personal opinion.

>>11690328
So you do not want sweet scents? Spicy? Musky? Woody?

>>11690343
If you sprayed your chest, wafts likely coming from under your shirt. As long as you stick to 2-5 sprays, with most in the 3-4 range, you should be OK. Err on the side of caution with frags you're unsure of.

>>11690535
>wanting us to talk about shitty niche frags

>>11691754
Will never understand how some people equate niche with being bad. Go and sample some things that don't get sold in every shopping mall in the world.

>>11691754
Proletarian designer fragrances are for boring, uninteresting normies.

>>11691754

>>11691754
Get the fuck out you tasteless mongoloid.

>>11691789
I'm looking for something to sample that's unique, niche and melancholy. Not dark as in old-school leather chypre but something minimalist and meditative. Any recs?

>>11690535
I think you're being way too kind referring to broad discussion of houses, 90% of these posters have no knowledge of any pre-YSL l'homme scents, any Hermes frag besides TdH or any non-bdc chanel.
this general is basically an endless La Nuit/BdC/Sauvage circlejerk, a loathsome purgatory of 16 year-olds and self-styled macho closet faggots with no taste. fucc dis im gone

>>11692333
Not really 'niche' so much as it is underrated I guess but Encre Noire by Lalique is really dark. Probably one of your best bets. Has been called a not as good version of Chanel Sycamore from their Les Exclusives collection - haven't smelled Sycamore so can't comment from personal experience but it gets said a lot so there must be something to it.

Black Afgano by Nasomatto - doesn't get much darker or more unique than this but is perhaps to loud and aggressive to qualify as meditative. You may or may not be able to get it to work for you, but regardless, is definitely worth a sniff though.

Patchouli Absolute by Tom Ford is quite dark and has a sedentary, melancholy, dirty characteristic to it.

>>11692375
I bought EN from some indian discount store downtown. The box was damaged, and I'm dubious about its authenticity. Last time i'm doing that desu. I'm interested in trying some Nasomatto as well, China White seems really interesting.

I'll look into that Tom Ford since all I hear about is TV, TL and Noir de Noir, although his house conveys sort of a sleazy aura to me.

>>11670486

Can confirm YSL La Nuit de L’homme has the best smell ever. Been buying it for about 2 years now and always get compliments on it

>>11692403
Yeah Tom Ford fragrances a lot of the time have this almost indecent feeling sensuality to them, without being too pretentious about it. He just does sexy well.

Patchouli Absolu isn't much like the rest of his line though.

should I wear unscented deodorant before wearing fragrance?

>>11692469
Yes, this.

>>11674110
Drinking large volumes of perfume over time leads to it secreting naturally from your skin premixed with your pheromones.

>>11692469
preferably, at least something lightly scented, e.g., nothing from Axe or Old Spice

>>11692403
>his house conveys sort of a sleazy aura to me.

It's the advertising. I don't get that from any of his products themselves

Hello, i'm back. I tried most of these, but it seems that i have a very complicated taste for perfume :/ i felt very meh for most of them. I liked T'erre D'Hermes though, but i found it very masculine. I expected Wonderoud by CDG to be more subtle and sweet, but it was very blunt, didn't like it. I also had seen YSL L'Homme being a favorite in /fa/, but i found it too tame and sweet.
Out of all the fragrances i tried (and i tried two entire department stores in a couple days), i really liked Luna Rossa by Prada and Opium by YSL, and ended up buying the latter one.

Thank you for your help though, anons!

>>11693988
Finding out what you like is part of the fun. If you like YSL Opium you may have a liking for powerhouses. Try Chanel Egoiste and Antaeus, YSL Kouros, and Van Cleef & Arpels Tsar.

If you like Luna Rossa, try the LR Extreme flanker or Le Male Popeye.

Here on in, try to zero in on particular notes you like. When you start exploring niche, that will give you a good starting point.

They mostly stock luxury shaving brands who also make fragrance (you know this). Nothing interests me personally, but if they stock something you like there's no reason not to buy a fragrance (other than price, maybe).

>>11689920

My wife prefers VPH over allure homme. They do smell very similar.

VPH is cheap but weak, don't be scared to spray the fuck out of it.

Thoughts on Egoiste?

I just got mine and I love it because of how unique and classy it is, but I'm worried because my work requires me to interact with a variety of people and it might prove polarizing.

What about Tom Ford for Men? I could use a safe, but still non-stereotypical office frag.

>>11676554
My anonymous negro. FM has some masculine stuff though

Is there any rad fragrance out there that can rek the fuck out of pic related?

>>11694107
What about Blue de Chanel EDP? Any better than VPH or AHS? I meant overall. Projection, sillage, longitivity.

>>11692311
Are you saying
>Sauvage
>Bvlgari Aqua
>Burberry Touch
>Versace Pour Homme
>Terra D' Hermes by Hermes for men
>Aqua Di Gio
>Bleu de Chanel
>Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit De L'homme
>Burberry Brit
>Lacoste for Men… etc

Are the best of 'em all?

>>11694440
Only legitimately good fragrance in that list is T'erre D'hermes.

Anyone else starting to get the feeling that Sauvage the new thing for ayyrabs to bathe in in Europe?

How can you not even mention Robes08, the original fragrance youtuber and still probably the best. He has the best reviews and likes the art. He said that his collection is worth over $100 000 and he also doesn't like jeremy fragrance

>>11694852
Not liking Jeremy Fragrance isn't a stamp of authenticity.
I thought all the videos of people attacking him on youtube were really silly. I get that they feel like youtube fragrance reviewing is 'their thing', but fuck them. What he does is none of their business and he's not beholden to them simply because they've been doing it for longer. Clearly doesn't work for any company, and whether or not he bought subscribers is irrelevant. If he did to get the ball rolling on his channel then good for him, smart move.

Having said that, I fucks with Robes08

Counter-inspo for fall through next spring. Fresh boozy wood that evolves throughout its 12 hour plus longevity.

I'm a medicine resident who works mostly in the hospital. Any kind of fragrance is definitely a no-no in places like the ICU, but i'm warming up more to the idea of using it when I'm with mostly-alive patients or in clinic. Still hard though, since anything strong or sexual would probably be off-putting. Yes/no? Any suggestions?

>>11696294
As a pretty big fragrance enthusiast and collector, there aren't too many occasions/places where I'd say "wear nothing," but the hospital is definitely one of them. That said, if you absolutely *had* to wear something, I'd recommend something extremely light and clean, and only 1 spray on the chest to limit projection. Possible candidates:

Agua Lavanda
4711

>>11694397

BdC is probably slightly better performance wise (and I love it), but it's pretty expensive for how poor the performance is.

Would building a sample pack based around spices I like in food work well?

>>11696294
I'd rec something by JCE, like Bvlgari Eau perfumee au the vert, Hermes Terre Eau tres fraiche or Voyage.

>>11696294
Grey Vetiver, applied modestly under clothes.

Wore Egoiste today, one spray under the shirt and it still projected enough to be uncomfortably noticeable. I feel like I have to dress up one notch higher for it so it won't be in my daily rotation. Off it goes with the Amouages.

>>11696826
worth doing if you are that curious about it, but
aside from the more dessert-oriented spices, e.g. cinnamon, star anise, why would you? i mean, i like the smell of rosemary and marjoram, but smelling like them? i don't know. it would have be one hell of a blending job by the perfumer so you don't automatically think or a roast chicken something.

>>11698582
sage, basil, coriander, black pepper, caraway, are all fairly common notes in perfume

>>11669577
invictus aqua

What is a good scent for attracting tumblrinas? Coffee and cigerattes?

>>11696048
Beautiful bottle.

edt or edp?

>>11699569
I own the Eau de Parfum, but kind of wish I had the EDT.

I loved it when i smelled it on my dad on a really still warm summer night, and he was wearing the EDT. The EDP is thicker and slightly cloying sometimes, and i feel like what was so great about the original was its airy quality, the way it just floated around you. Either is good, but EDT for me.

>>11699556
actually, this sounds really nice.

is there anything with notes of coffee, whiskey, tar, leather?

why does it sound so familiar, like there's something like it already?

Isn't that just a richfag meme frag company, what with selling bottles in the thousands?

I want a new frag, 18 femboy, would like something that smells sexual and fun, i'd mostly use it for going out. dont know anything about this so please go easy on the memes ok ty guys!

So summers coming up...

Are there any fresh/citrus/etc fragrances that have awesome performance/longevity/etc?

Even though most of you contrarians pretend to hate aventus I have it and love it but want to mix it up a bit.

And if not fresh/citrus, what's your best performing summer frag?

I wanted to hate him because he is more successful and attractive than me but he is actually a respectable and knowledgeable guy.

>>11686301
It's my favorite. I've never had a fragrance make me say, "wow," before. It's kind of an older guy fragrance though. That can be a good or bad thing. Lots of citrus at first but then it settles into an ozone-like jasmine.

Am I going to smell like everyone else if I wear this when I go out? Is there something similar that is a little more off the beaten path?

>>11702083
If you like the animalistic civet note in Kouros you should check out Opus IX by Amouage. It's the only animalistic scent done right, imo.

>>11702782
tom ford noir extreme, penhalgion's endymion

i wouldn't worry too much though, especially if you've never smelled it on anyone. it's talked about a lot in the fragrance community, but the fragrance community is a VERY small representative of the population.

For autumn/winter was thinking of buying Iessey miayke nuit or burrbery london.
Which one do you guys think is mlre appropiate for a guy,going to college/work so i need it to be casual and profi/office at the same time.

Also,looking around at online retailers i saw they have way lower prices than sephora or shops as such.i assume some taxes come into play,but ive heard this theory saying that most online stores selling parfumes give you older ones,not as fresh as brick and mortar stores. Opinions? Should i order online or just go to sephora? Tbh as a poor student online would seem better due to the price diff,but i dont want nequalitative products

>tfw started into fragrance last year and already ascended to the point of laughing at how pleb this general is

>>11703511
good for you faggot, nobody cares

>>11703500
l'eau de issey miyake is definitely your best bet for what you described.

yeah, order online for sure. fragrancenet, strawberrynet, beautyspin, ebay (if you're not retarded) are all your friends. make sure to use the 25%-30% coupon fragrancenet offers, be sure that if you're buying from ebay you thoroughly read the description and recognize that it's coming from someone with a lot of ratings. if you come across a tom ford for $100 or something and it's coming from russia or some shithole like that, you bet it's fake.

as for the age thing, don't worry about it, fragrance does decay with time, but you're not going to be getting any 2004 bottles laying around, you'll be just fine.

For any of you who wanna try a wide variety of fragrances but don't wanna spend a lot of money there's a site called Perfume parlour, they basically make copies of fragrances but for cheap prices like £5 for a 13ml sprayer. I have ordered a ton and most have been spot on, some are not quite there. They are based in the UK so they can't ship sprayers abroad but they do 2ml perfume roll-ons and such

what's a good first frag ? I've been wearing cheap trash most of my life and am finally deciding to get something nicer. Not too season-specific (though I live in deep woods canada so could probably get away with a fall/winter all year round) ?

>>11703511
so, enlighten us neckbeard?

>>11703624
/Our guy/ got you covered

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2thJvqthgcc

>>11703667
My tip. Get only 2 designer frags (a summer frag and a fall winter night out frag) than fill the rest of your fragrance wardrobe with niche fragrances.

>>11703624
Spicebomb

>>11703469
who carries this line? Would rather buy at a brick-and-mortar than buy online.

>>11703531
I'm extremely OCD about buying off discount sites; point is, I'd rather buy perfume at retail and be sure it's authentic than risk getting something doctored/fake off the grey market and not knowing.

>>11703708
uh why not substitute a niche for 2 designers? Summer/spring - sel marin fall/winter - lddm. There you go

>>11703783
Autist.

>>11703793
>not substituting your two niche fragrances with one versatile custom personal fragrance made to your specifications by a renowned perfumer

>>11703793
Because Designer frags are meant to seduce women. So one of your night out frags should always be a seductive designer frag. Summer I don't give a shit, I think 90% of summer frags aren't even worth the niche prices and you should always go for designer summer frags such as Acqua di Gio or Invictus Aqua

>>11703511

Invasion Barbare by Parfums MDCI
Also remembered Sartorial by Penhaligon's and 1725 by Histoires de Parfums when I went to look it up again.

>>11704558
if you like cdg check out other edgy niche brands; DS & Durga, Slumberhouse, Imaginary Authors, fragrances by Lush et. al. Also investigate Geza Schoen (did an olfactory/music installation with Tim Hecker or something) and Antoine Lie who creates some serious mindfuck scents. Should keep you busy.

Also CdG's Black Pepper came out recently which should be right up your alley.
